PORTRAIT
Through the open window
A square of moonlight frames
A pistol and a rose
Blue black
Cool steel
Inert
A faint aroma of oil
And red velvet pedals
With near lethal thorns
Nearly alive
A scent too fragrant
EGRET
Spring
Sebastian Inlet
Along the moonlight shore
A slender ghost
Silent
Feathered sculpture
His great neck a question mark?
I marveled at its patience
The profound stillness
I know nothing of this bird
Ignorant
Autumn
In my yard
A familiar egret
In fall's short light
I see his
question
But wonder less
And crave the mystery
Gerald Clark, Ann Arbor
